Sep 11, 2025
The Korean Society of Nephrology (Chairman Park Hyung-cheon, Yonsei University) announced that it has succeeded in attracting the 2027 Asia-Pacific Meeting for the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (APCM-ISPD)' to Busan.
South Korea and Indonesia competed for the bid, and Busan was selected as the final venue after oral presentation evaluation at the '2025 ISPD Asia-Pacific Conference (APCM-ISPD 2025)' held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from September 3-7.
ISPD is an international conference established in 1984, with more than 60 countries around the world participating as members and is considered the most prestigious academic conference in the field of peritoneal dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis forms one of the pillars of renal replacement therapy along with hemodialysis and kidney transplantation, and has advantages in that patients can manage themselves and can be treated at home. However, in Korea, the proportion of patients with peritoneal dialysis remains low, and more attention and effort are required to improve this. In response, the Korean Kidney Society has been promoting the activation of peritoneal dialysis as a major task through the 「National Kidney Health Improvement (KHP2033)」.
The hosting of the ISPD Congress 2027 in Busan is expected to be an important turning point in improving the quality and expanding the spread of peritoneal dialysis treatment in Korea. ISPD Congress 2027 will be held in BEXCO, Busan, from October 1-3, 2027, and thousands of peritoneal dialysis experts from around the world, including the Asia-Pacific region, will participate in in-depth discussions on the latest research, clinical strategies and policy directions.
"The hosting of APCM-ISPD 2027 in Busan will be a valuable opportunity for Korean researchers to interact with world-class scholars," said Kim Jwa-kyung, general secretary of the Korean Society for Peritoneal Dialysis. "We expect it to be of great help in the clinical development of peritoneal dialysis treatment and the improvement of patients' quality of life."
Park Hyung-cheon, Chairman of the Korean Kidney Association (Yeonseui University), said, "The reason why the Korean Kidney Association has attracted internationally prestigious academic conferences in Korea is the result of its global recognition of academic capabilities. We will continue to do our best to strengthen our global network and establish a patient-centered treatment environment." he said.
